Halong Bay and the Red River (Upstream)
Sailing deep into Highland Vietnam we will discover the mountain villages and a number of tribal areas. We will go as far as is navigable up the Song Red River and then down the little known Da or Black River. Note this is a new river expedition and itineraries and schedules very much subject to change due to uncertain local conditions.
Note that in the winter months December to March we move onto an alternative itinerary covering a larger inland water cruising area on the coastal plain area. Some sections can be industrial, others very rural. Note that in the winter the daily temperature range can be from 7C to 21C and the visibility can be poor with mists.

Angkor Pandaw
Vessel Type: Luxury River Cruising
Length: 42.2 m
Passenger Capacity: 32 passengers
Built: 2012
Angkor Pandaw is a handsome two-deck riverboat, a luxurious yet unostentatious replica of a colonial-era vessel dating from 1865.
It is a K-class ship. The K-class dated back to the 1880s and were comprised of stern wheelers designed to reduce draft, their boilers placed in the bow to improve trim. Smaller than the great line steamers of the age, the K-class ships were used on the Chindwin and upper reaches of the Irrawaddy. Where possible we have reused the old IFC names and many of these original K-class ships had fascinating histories, through times of war and peace.
